This was the day that Claude Giroux became the captain of the Flyers. He told coach Peter Laviolette he wanted the first shift of the game then proceeded to deck Sidney Crosby. Just 30 seconds into the game, after leveling the Penguins captain, Giroux ripped a wrist-shot by Marc-Andre Fleury and they took it from there.

The Flyers would go on to take a 4-1 lead into the third period before Brayden Schenn stripped the Penguins of the puck to deposit the empty net goal.

Eliminating a team is always sweet but it is so much sweeter when you hate the other team. With the win, the Flyers sent the Penguins packing.
